Episode 236: How MS Affects Mind, Mood, and Memory with Dr. Anthony Feinstein

If you're living with MS, there's a good chance that, at some point, you're going to deal with depression, cognitive issues, or both of these common MS symptoms.

We're taking a deep dive into how these symptoms can impact your everyday life at home and at work with the author of Mind, Mood, and Memory: The Neurobehavioral Consequences of Multiple Sclerosis, Dr. Anthony Feinstein.

We're also highlighting some of the MS research that was presented two weeks ago at the ACTRIMS Forum, the annual meeting of the Americas Committee for Treatment and Research in Multiple Sclerosis.

You'll hear how artificial intelligence is being used to predict how someone will respond to different disease-modifying therapies.

You'll learn about the efficacy of stem cell therapy in treating aggressive MS.

And we'll share the results of a research project designed to calculate the economic burden of MS in the United States.

We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS??!

Thanks for participating in the Public Policy Conference! :22

Episode 235: National MS Society Public Policy Conference Preview with Bari Talente

I've always believed that the things people affected by MS want most — things like access to quality healthcare, affordable prescription medications, and funding for MS research — are all functions of public policy. The people who decide whether we get those things are our elected officials at both the state and federal level. That's why advocacy is a priority.

The National MS Society's Public Policy Conference is taking place on March 7th. Joining me with a preview of what we can expect to see and hear at this year's conference, as well as how you can register to participate, is the MS Society's Executive Vice-President of Advocacy and Healthcare Access, Bari Talente.

Last week, the America's Committee for Treatment and Research in Multiple Sclerosis convened the 2022 ACTRIMS Forum, their annual research conference.

One of the highlights of the ACTRIMS Forum is the presentation of the Barancik Prize for Innovation in MS Research. This year's recipient of the Baranick Prize is Dr. Amit Bar-Or, who was recognized for his pioneering work in uncovering how the immune system drives MS and his cutting-edge research focusing on precision medicine to achieve long-term remission and, ultimately, prevent MS progression.

Dr. Bar-Or also joins me on this episode of the podcast to talk about his innovative work aimed at improving outcomes for people living with MS.

We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS??!
